Monks very weak. Need rebalance

Could you share your rotation? 200 dps on Titan is pretty impressive as a Monk. My friend was only around 160 dps with crafted ilvl 70 weapon and I'd love to pass some advice to him about how he can improve his dps.

Well im not sure if i want share my secret :P But something what i can say positioning and hitting skills from right spots and keeping up buffs (lightning and twin snakes).

For ppl who cry about monk having lowest potency so what? We've highest skill speed plus for example bootshine has 100% crit from right spot.. Just spent time learning your class and doing rotations and figuring out whats best for yourself. In this game its extremely hard to do great dps all the time. I'm out dpsing almost every random group by just hitting 3 abilities + 2 off globals + 2 cooldowns.

I'm also suspicious on that 200+ DPS on Titan.

Not because it's not doable... Simply because of how the fight mechanics behave: we don't have the time so sit on Titan to dish out 200+ DPS even getting your rotation "perfect."

We shine (we really do) at Tank'n'Spank bosses, like the last boss of AK, which I believe should be used as a benchmark for MNK DPS.

And on that boss, 200+ DPS is totally do-able. 220+ is only doable if you BiS for every piece of gear you have as well as a ranged BLM/BRD taking care of the spawn while you focus on the boss.

But MNKs are the #1 class that needs the most changes (and people have already mentioned some great ones: Should Tackle should give a GL stack, not stun - reduce the CD as well; increase buff of GL to 15 seconds in order to accommodate those "lapses" in DPS where the boss goes in ranged mode/we have to run around/tank is moving mob around; etc).

You can be suspicious as much as you want I dont care if you dont believe me. I saw what i saw in parser. Also we dont need that much changes. Just increase our buff durations and lower cooldown of perfect balance. Lightning with 3-5secs + twinsnakes 2-4secs and lower cooldown of perfect balance 30-40sec.

And if you read my original post i pulled at last boss of AK 305 dps ^^ While killing adds too well actually one add because we ignored second add and just killed the boss.
